Occupation:Tanner Jim Adams (Canada) contacted the LDS and came up with the following possible lead "In 1831 a David Adams resided on the "Commons" area of Coleraine. This could be the street known today as Long Common. This David was married and there were 5 males and 3 females living in the house. He apparently owned house no's 457 and 458 with the second house listed as "vacant". He was listed as a Presbtyerian. As Jims GG Grandfather, John, signed his marriage certificate with an X there is every possibility that David was illiterate also."Scots often named children by following a simple set of rules. Don't use these as a firm guide (there were often variations, for all sorts ofreasons) but you may find that some of your ancestors used these too: 1st son named after father's father 2nd son named after mother's father 3rd son named after father 1st daughter named after mother's mother 2nd daughter named after father's mother 3rd daughter named after mother

David married Hannah ROBERTS, daughter of William? ROBERTS and Ann?, about 1824 in Coleraine, , Londonderry, Northern Ireland. (Hannah ROBERTS was born about 1803 in Coleraine, , Londonderry, Northern Ireland and died about 1893 in Coleraine, , Londonderry, Northern Ireland.)
